Hotel Amira was the second hotel that I stayed in to get a different point of view. It is located…read moreon Sultanahmet's side which is within walking distance of Hagia Sofia, Blue Mosque, and the Grand Bazaar. All of these sites are quite famous and usually take a long time to get in. But during November it is their low season so it was less busy than I have seen it before. Hotel Amira was also my first time staying at this boutique hotel which cost was quite reasonable. The only negative thing is maybe the stairs if you have heavy luggage you will need some assistance depending on which floor you get. We got the 7th room number which doesn't have an elevator to connect to that level. But besides that it was fine. The staff here is quite friendly and nice. If you have any questions just ask them and they will be able to help you out. The rooftop is closed though since it is cold but you can still go on top of it and take some photos of the view. It is fantastic to see the ocean on one side and also the mosque on the other. For a boutique hotel, the location, area, and being able to walk around at all the most famous places in Istanbul is quite nice!

As a platinum member you can get free breakfast at the Moise restaurant. I really enjoyed that they give a traditional breakfast with many different items. If it's not included in your stay I recommend trying that once. I stay at a lot of Marriott hotels and this one is good. The staff are very helpful and accommodating. This neighborhood near the galata tower on a hill that's quite steep so be prepared for that.

I had a fabulous time staying at this hotel during my Istanbul trip. As soon as I arrived the front…read moredesk gentlemen greeted me and got me everything I needed. The room was perfect, with a huge walk in shower, and a closet big enough to store my belongings. The bed was extremely comfy and it was just such a great cozy room. It is walking distance from a lot of local attractions and nearby resturants. One night, I asked the front desk for recommendations on a restaurant, and I was so happy by his suggestion. Check out was also a breeze and the doorman helped me load by bags into my Uber!

After arriving from the airport, the helpful bell staff whisked my bags away for me and I checked in quickly and easily with the friendly front desk staff. The bellman carried my bags to my room and gave me a quick overview, which was very helpful. The room was spotless and thoughtfully laid out. There was a nice desk which I used for work, a nice lounge chair, and comfortable bed with plenty of lights. There was a TV which I didn't turn on. The bathroom was huge, with a nice soaking tub and a freestanding shower. The toilet was in a nook off to the left and it came with a bidet sprayer on the side. The amenities were great...they didn't have a strong smell which I appreciated because some hotels have shampoos/soaps with such strong scents, it makes my eyes water. These were nice and subtle. I slept very well in the bed. The pillows were very comfortable (not too soft) and the room was dark and quiet at night. Staff everywhere were helpful and kind. I didn't have a chance to use amenities like the breakfast that was included in my rate, nor the gym or pool area but everything looked great. I want to come back just to use the pool! The location is terrific...just a few minutes walk to Taksim Square, where you can find plenty of restaurants as well as the Metro. Traffic is so crazy in Istanbul that you can often save time with the Metro...I live in New York so riding the subway here is like living in the lap of luxury. It's so clean and orderly and it doesn't smell! My room had a Bosphorus view, which costs extra but is worth it. I really enjoyed my stay here from the room, to the location to the excellent service. Would 100% recommend.

The staff was VERY nice and always helpful to any issues we had. They were also quick to respond if you called and requested something from them. We stayed in two types of rooms since we were starting and ending our tour with this hotel. We got the suite on the first pass which was huge and very spacious for three adults. On our second pass we got a standard two queen room which was still very spacious for three adults. The rooms were very clean and well maintained. The bathrooms weren't quiet up to build quality that were use to back home but regardless very clean and spacious. Although the location is quite a distance from all the big attractions, I still conciser it to be a great location as thee are multiple (cheap and yummy) grocery stores, and money exchange banks all within a few minutes of walking. I think there may be a mosque nearby because we could hear the call sound from our room every time it went off, it wasn't too loud as we all slept through it easily. My only real complaint is that the staffs English could be improved, but regardless we had no issues!

For me it was the best compared to the other two because of the quality and also it had the Turkish feel to it. We were greeted well, the rooms were very nice especial the view. The Wellness spa and fitness were Amazing again it had huge saunas, great facilities. The best is the rooftop restaurant, OMG. after having dinner there it has spoilt our tastes, we ordered the vegi pizza, tuna pizza, cream pasta and something with lamb the waiter recommended. Everything was Perfect, not to oily, not to salty, its crazy how they got all 4 times so prefect and delicious. After that we had 2 deserts one was something with brownie and the other a tiramisu... Seriously I dream about it, it was that good. Highly Highly recommend it. The next night we ordered room service but we had to call 3-4 times so its better to just go to the rooftop with an AMAZING view. The breakfast was the Bomb. With 4 people, everyone has their own taste, I prefer fruits and pastry, whilst the others prefer meat, eggs and more heavy breakfast so it really satisfied our breakfast needs. Over all I will Definitely stay at this hotel again. It had definately surpassed my expectations.

Since the price was covered by Turkish Airlines we can't speak to the price, but it's a great spot!
